Police closed the road, and it was not reopened until three hours later.

Ambulance service spokesman Gary Sanderson said: “A man has sustained a significant leg injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by the land and air crew paramedics, he was flown direct to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.”
